The Command Box
At the top-left of AlomWare Toolbox's window is the Command Box (Figure 1). This is used to enter pre-set commands to do something quickly, such as basic math calculations (+ - * / only and brackets); setting ad-hoc reminders; running a DOS command; terminating a process without needing to open the Windows Task Manager; and several others. When you type something in the Command Box that isn't a calculation, the number of characters typed is shown in the Info Box to its right.
Example 2: Imagine you need to quickly set a 10-minute reminder to pick up the pizza you ordered. Open AlomWare Toolbox with its hotkey, type !10Get pizza, and press the Enter key. In ten minutes, a reminder with an alarm sound will occur (Figure 4). How fast and easy was that to set a reminder?
Example 3: Imagine you need to quickly kill all notepad.exe processes on your PC. Open AlomWare Toolbox with its hotkey, type -notepad.exe, and press the Enter key (Figure 5). All those processes will be terminated instantly! Note: Killing processes like this will lose any unsaved data in them.
Press the F6 key at any time to select the Command Box, and press the Up and Down arrow keys to cycle back and forward through the commands you've entered. Press the F1 key on the Command Box to see which commands you can type in it (Figure 2).

Command Examples
Example 1: Imagine you want to type the result of an equation into your current document. While editing your document, open AlomWare Toolbox with its hotkey and type the calculation with a trailing equals sign into the Command Box (such as 22/7=), and press the Enter key (Figure 3). The result of 3.14 will be typed into your document.
